Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how his Department defines a long-term health condition.

A long-term health condition (LTC) can be defined as a condition that cannot be cured but can be managed through the use of medication and/or therapy.

This is how LTC are defined by NHS Choices; further information can be found here:
